Rose Byrne has joined Nicolas Cage in a film called Knowing.
Byrne will play the daughter of a woman who buried a 1962 time capsule bearing the dates of the assassinations of historical figures, the hotel fire death of the wife of a professor (Cage) and an imminent world apocalypse. After the professor discovers its contents and alerts her, the initially skeptical Byrne begins remembering strange incidents from her childhood.
It's an Alex Proyas project, who's milieu includes stuff like The Crow, Dark City and I, Robot, and this sounds firmly sci-fi, right in his wheelhouse. National Treasure's Nic Cage must love his history.
